In 2014, PSG were fined 60 million euros and handed transfer spending restrictions by UEFA for breaching financial fair play rules

French giants Paris Saint-Germain risk UEFA sanction as Spain's football league chief Javier Tebas said he will file a complaint for financial fair play breaches against the Paris club over their pursuit of Neymar.

The Barcelona striker is in the middle of transfer war as he has expressed his intention to leave Spain.

There were reports that PSG are weighing up a bid for the Brazilian forward at more than 200 million euros, enough to trigger the 25-year-old's transfer release clause.

Should PSG, owned by Oryx Qatar Sports Investments, bid, and then pay, the 222 million euros needed to prise Neymar from the Catalan capital, they would struggle to meet UEFA's financial fair play conditions that limit a team to losses of no more than 30 million euros over a three-year cycle.

According to Tebas, "no-one believes" the commercial revenue figures presented by PSG to justify their spending.
